Aion: The Tower Of Eternity

   Well there are a lot of rumors concerning WoW Clone, but yet, I have tried both of the games and well, just like WoW (World Of Warcraft) was an Everquest Clone and overpassed it, Aion as it's similarities with WoW, such as with Final Fantasy, and may overpass them, and the most features of the game it's most  new and inovating.

Grinding and Quest System

   Basiclly Aion grinding, is essential about quests, at least till level 20, that is when the real Aion unveals, you could say that there is where the WoW similarities are, on the questing system, well i partially agree, but it has the best of WoW, not only, WoW, but even so the quests, and the main storyline plus the cutscenes where you see in 1st and 3rd prespective of your character, makes you stick on the monitor for hours, and not to mention the quests that are not from the story like, are fun to do to, I won't develop much on this subject, as I don't want to spoil any surprises in the game

Skill System & Divine Power

  About the skill system, I got to say it is the most inovating system i have ever seen, lets take in for example the Gladiator, it makes huge ammounts of damage, and the way that the MOBs react to strong skills, such has slide backwards, and the effects are really done carefully, not to mention the combo system, wich is also a great feature putten into the game, wich lets us make a skill chain however we like, and this skill combo also exists on Magicians, such has the Sorcerer, wich he can do various spell chains/combos.
  Now where the game really introduces a new featur, Divine Power or DP, it is gained in increments by defeating monsters, all of which possess a certain amount of Aether. When a Daeva successfully slays a monster, this energy is released and absorbed as Divine Power. You can collect, store it, and use it to bring an amazing finishing move, wich they mention as Celestial Brute Force, and you can also use it to create/refine, higher quality weapons or amors.

Since Tuesday’s launch of open beta testing in Korea, concurrent user numbers have already jumped to more than 170,000 players, making it the most popular beta event in Korean history. According to NCsoft officials, more than 11,000 people were logged into the game after only two minutes of open beta service. In less than an hour, that number had ballooned to 40,000. Currently the number of concurrent players has leapt up to more than 170,000.
To meet the unprecedented demand by gamers, NCsoft rapidly expanded to 25 servers over the first few hours of opening the beta.  Even with the increased number of servers, tens of thousands of people were waiting to enter the game. By the second day of open beta, the game reached the top spot in Korea’s Gametrics web site that rates games that are played in Korea’s PC Café industry.
Aion is an epic fantasy MMO that combines an eastern-style focus on visuals and design with western action-oriented gameplay. In Aion, players must fight to save a beautiful and vibrant world ripped asunder by a celestial war; during their adventures, players will ascend to divinity and earn the ability to fly. Flight adds a fun and strategic dimension to the gameplay of Aion and is integral to combat, exploration, harvesting and more.
“The response we’re seeing in Korea is incredibly exciting,” said David Reid, president of publishing for NCsoft West in Seattle. “Our Aion community in North America and Europe is also rapidly growing. We’ve got aggressive plans for the western launch in 2009”
